Patient's question:
I've always been quite curious about why women produce some breast milk after giving birth, because I'm about to have a baby myself, so I'd like to consult a doctor here on how breast milk is formed?Doctor's answer:
The function of a woman's breasts is to produce milk, maintain milk flow, and support breastfeeding. Milk is secreted by alveolar cells in the mammary glands. Therefore, after giving birth, if breastfeeding, it is recommended to consume more soupy foods. You can eat chicken soup, crucian carp soup, or pig trotter soup, as these can effectively help increase milk production. Additionally, it is important to eat a variety of nutritious foods.
